I Love Consignment Shopping!



Recommended Posts

Consignment shopping has sort of become an obsession of mine lately. I would rather go to the Goodwill Boutique and spend an hour or two searching, but end up with three or four new outfits for what I would spend on one at a department store.

Some of the things I've gotten at the Goodwill recently:

-A Micheal Kors dress with the tags still on it. Retail was $120, I bought it for $15

-A pair of DL1961 jeans, again, tags still on. Retail was $160, I paid $30

-An Ann Taylor skirt, no tags, but would retail for at least $50, I paid $8

-A pair of Calvin Klein capris, no tags, but in flawless condition. I paid $9

The best part is when these things stop fitting me, I can resell them on Poshmark. I've sold multiple things that I've outgrown on there, not only is it fun, but it feels good knowing someone else is getting enjoyment out of the clothing that I've owned and loved, but just can't wear anymore! It's a win-win! Just thought I'd share, since many of us are probably going through the same trials of outgrowing things quickly!

I'm not too great at the Goodwill because they don't sort by size and I have the patience of a flea, but I do love consignment stores. We have a franchise here called Clothes Mentor that is awesome. The teen version of them is Plato's closet.

I bought most of my clothes on consignment on my way down and sell much of it back. Anything I can't sell goes to a battered women's shelter where I know it is very much needed.

We have a Plato's closet near me as well. I have good luck with jeans there sometimes, but not so much tops, definitely not shorts or skirts, all way too short! I'll have to look for a Clothes Mentor store.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
